Category: The Dead Astronaut’s House

Things are going slow in the space, at least in Dimitri´s one. We are focusing our great effort on finishing and polishing Aldebaraan, wich BTW, is getting a name change, like the ex 80 Boxes, now Asses and Boxes.

But dont worry, The Dead Astronaut´s House is not forsaken! To proof that, here is some new poster artwork.

While my VGA is melted down (fact that dont let me work in Unreal Engine 4, so i cant work with TDAH), i took this time to polish the background story of the main character, the historical context and the mythological context, specially this last one.

The time line of the mythological context is so large that goes right to the beginning of the universe and beyond, to the previous universes.

I dont want to spoil anything, i just list some mayor events:

The Blind Archeologist destroys the previous universe and create this one using The Octogon

The rise and fall of The Ancients

the creation of The Three Elder Gods

the creation of The Eights

Creation of Thoi Sean, his star Aldebaraan and his duty to the mankind.

The trial of Dimitri and The Dead Astronaut’s House.

Sounds good right? at least to me 😀

One good thing of getting this background cooked is the fact that i was able to abord the elements of the game and the art way more accurate to the story. Some reflect of this is the progress of the main poster’s art

The drawing of the astronauts is something to polish, but the poster itself will be like this. You can see the aesthetic of the 60’s, you can see Aldebaraan, a star with mayor relevance in the story, you can also see Dimitri and the Octagon.

And now some other old posters that i didn’t show you:

Some of this may, or may not be used ingame.

Well, that’s all for today. Hope to get a new vga soon and finish the game 😀

While 80 Boxes is in the oven, cooking itself up, and My Tower My Home is finished, I’m already working in the next project: The Dead Astronaut’s House.

It will be a minigame, more like an interactive story, in FPS format.

So, whats this “game” about? I will only tell you the core of the story: There is a dead astronaut right in the lawn of the house, the grave it’s already dug up, there is a shovel, and the house is over an asteroid in the deep space. Who is that astronaut? why is he dead? who dug the grave? ..why is this house here? WHY I’M HERE??

Its a short game, it will take between 5 to 15 minutes, depend on how much you’d like to dig on the story written on that walls.

It’s the first of many episodes, all are planned to be shot like this. And best of all, it will be free, like our spirit.

The game is under development with the great and powerfull Unreal Engine 4.11, so you can expect some good looking space corpses.
